Does JSAOs son have any chance?

McNamara That Ghost...
02-06-2013, 08:59 PM
He has a chance of a set if the pub team Nadal shows up. Otherwise, no.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 09:42 AM
Haas hammers Youzhny 6-1 in the first set.

Haas could be quite a problem for Djokovic in the next round if they get there.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 10:00 AM
Azarenka takes the first set against Schiavone 6-3.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 10:49 AM
Azarenka destroyed Schiavone 6-3 6-0. Mattek-Sands or Kirilenko next for her.

Haas shat on Youzhny 6-1 6-1 6-3.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 10:54 AM
Petchey nearly made me cry a little there talking about Djokovic's upbringing.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 11:03 AM
Kohlschreiber breaks and leads 3-2 in the first set!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 11:22 AM
Break point for Djokovic with Kohlschreiber serving for the set.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 11:23 AM
Kohlschreiber saves it. Djokovic stretching everyway. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 11:23 AM

Great to see so many one handed backhand players doing well in this tournament.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 11:55 AM
Numerous break points saved by Djokovic.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 11:57 AM
Djokovic holds. 4-1.

It must be that one handed backhand players in general Djokovic finds it hard to deal with. Fed, Wawrinka, Kohlschreiber and Haas have all really troubled him in the past.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 12:01 PM
What a backhand from Kohlschreiber. :cloud9:

McNamara That Ghost...

Djokovic breaks and leads 3-2 in the fourth set. Surely it will be his now.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 01:10 PM
Djokovic tries to batter the hell out of Kohlschreiber repeatedly with a forehand but ends up missing. Break point for Kohlschreiber noww.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 01:21 PM
And Kohlschreiber breaks. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 01:24 PM
Djokovic to serve it out again.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 01:28 PM
What a backhand to save match point!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 01:29 PM
Djokovic eventually wins 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-4. Decent match.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 02:11 PM
Nadal fends them off and holds though, 2-2.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 02:13 PM
Two break points for Nadal. :doh:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 02:15 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 03:54 PM
Nadal is serving for the match, just gone to deuce after facing break point.

Wawrinka took the third set against Gasquet 6-4.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 03:55 PM
Nadal wins 6-4 6-1 6-3. On to face Gasquet or Fat Stan.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 04:00 PM
Nadal get a massive cake for his birthday. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 04:00 PM

03-06-2013, 04:59 PM
Sharapova takes the first set 6-4.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:34 PM
Two break points for Gasquet at 5-5 in the fifth!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:34 PM
One break point remaining.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:35 PM
Gasquet you berk. Completely wild swing at a forehand. Deuce.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:36 PM
Fat Stan holds, Gasquet serving to stay in it.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:40 PM
Gasquet two points away from losing from 2-0. Again.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:41 PM
Gasquet holds though, 6-6.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:43 PM
Fat Stan just put down his 90th winner. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:47 PM
Gasquet completely skies one to give Stan two match points!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:48 PM
Wawrinka wins 6-7 (5-7) 4-6 6-4 7-5 8-6! What a match.

One handed backhand X2. :bow:

Still reserve a :doh: for Gasquet fucking it up from 2-0 again though.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 05:51 PM
Sharapova wins 6-4 6-3!

Hampton or Jankovic next for her. That is on Lenglen next, not that I expect anyone to turn up at Lenglen.

Master Splinter
03-06-2013, 06:07 PM
Poor show from Stephens really.

Fat Stan :bow:.

Gasquet was on his way to the bottle bank when he realised he'd been there empty-handed many times before.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 06:11 PM
Yeah I thought she'd trouble Sharapova a lot more.

Me. :lol:

Tennis chancer in disguise really.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 06:21 PM
Jankovic leads 5-0.

USA. :rose:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 06:30 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 06:56 PM

Hampton might be a bit shit.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 07:05 PM
Hampton serving to stay in the match.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-06-2013, 07:08 PM

Cripps_orig
03-06-2013, 07:10 PM
Robredo to go 2 sets down and win it?

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 12:00 PM
Good luck for him with that against DF.

Play isn't too far away for the two women's matches.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 12:26 PM
Serena breaks to love, 2-0 in the first set.

Kuznetsova. :doh:

McNamara That Ghost...

Serena takes the first set 6-1. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:10 PM
What a way for Kuznetsova to save break point. :blink:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:11 PM
Serena does get one of the breaks back though, 4-1.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:16 PM
Serena is having a shocker.

Kuznetsova to serve for the second set.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:18 PM
Which she doesn't.

This match. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:28 PM

Tiebreak in the second set between Radwanska and Errani.

McNamara That Ghost...

Serena breaks back, unsurprisingly.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:58 PM
Match point for Errani.

Xhaka Can’t
04-06-2013, 01:59 PM
Uvavo

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 01:59 PM
Crazily long rally. 6-6.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:00 PM
Another match point for Errani, to serve this time.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:01 PM
Errani wins 6-4 7-6 (8-6)! She will face Serena or Kuznetsova in the semi-final.

Tsonga vs Fed on soon. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:04 PM
Serena breaks and leads 4-2 in the third set.

Kuznetsova. :rose:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:14 PM

Robredo vs David Ferrer on Lenglen next.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:36 PM
2-2. Fed's forehand. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:39 PM
What a point! :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:39 PM
Two break points for Fed!

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:40 PM
What a forehand. Faked it and sent it to the other side of the court. :lol:

Fed leads 3-2. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 02:51 PM
Tsonga breaks back, 4-4.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:02 PM
Three set points for Tsonga.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:03 PM
Two set points remaining.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:03 PM
What a ridiculous backhand pass to save the second!

One remaining.

Shaqiri Is Boss
04-06-2013, 03:04 PM
:blink:

What a shot.

And again!

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:04 PM
Deuce. Wow.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:05 PM
Tsonga takes it on the fourth though. 7-5.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:13 PM
Tsonga breaks to love and leads 2-0 in the second set.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 03:40 PM
Tsonga takes the second set 6-3. Shit.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 04:02 PM
David Ferrer annihilated Robredo 6-2 6-1 6-1.

Master Splinter
04-06-2013, 04:14 PM
While Maccy is too distraught to update you all, I will let you know that Tsonga broke Federer again to go 4-3 up in the third and Federer is now serving to stay in the tournament at 5-3.

Master Splinter
04-06-2013, 04:16 PM
Two match points for Tsonga!!

Master Splinter
04-06-2013, 04:16 PM
One saved!

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 04:17 PM
Tsonga wins 7-5 6-3 6-3. That's not good.

Master Splinter
04-06-2013, 04:18 PM
Tsonga wins 7-5 6-3 6-3!!!!

An absolute battering.

Tsonga :bow:.

Federer :rose:.

Maccy :rose:.

Master Splinter
04-06-2013, 04:24 PM
Tsonga and Ferrer still haven't dropped a set in this tournament :bow:.

On this form, you'd have to favour Tsonga slightly over Ferrer though.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-06-2013, 05:05 PM
Tennis. :lol:

Always Halle I suppose. :unsure:

I see it the other way really. I think David Ferrer will win.

Cripps_orig
04-06-2013, 09:45 PM
Surely the end for Federer

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 11:20 AM
We'll see by Wimbledon if he pubs it up. Sad if this is the end. :(

Anyway today:

Chatrier -
Jankovic vs Sharapova
Nadal vs Fat Stan

Lenglen -
Kirilenko vs Azarenka
Djokovic vs Haas.

Master Splinter
05-06-2013, 11:27 AM
Will Fat Stan finally get a set off Nadal?

That has to be one of the most demoralising records in sport.

Haas has the ability to trouble Djokovic, but I'd expect Djokovic to come through relatively comfortably.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 11:29 AM
I think Fat Stan came in to this tournament with an injury so unlikely. He's another one of those players that is ultra talented but always gets drawn in to too many five setters early on so he is gassed when he meets anyone of quality.

A bit like Tsonga, until he activated beast mode for this tournament.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 12:24 PM
Azarenka breaks in the first game. :lol:

Jankovic leads 2-0 in the first set. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 12:27 PM
Kirilienko breaks straight back.

WTA. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 12:33 PM
Azarenka back up a break.

Sharapova double faults to give Jankovic a 4-0 lead. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 12:37 PM
Kirilenko breaks again. :doh:

Sharapova serving to a avoid a bagel.

Shaqiri Is Boss
05-06-2013, 12:38 PM
Sharapova is having what you'd call a 'shocker' right now.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 12:41 PM
Jankovic takes the first set 6-0.

Sharapova. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 01:04 PM
Sharapova leads 4-1 in the second set.

Jankovic. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 01:26 PM
Sharapova takes the second set 6-4.

Azarenka and Kirilenko are in a first set tiebreak.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 01:31 PM
Azarenka takes the first set 7-6 (7-3).

That set wasn't far off Murray and Djokovic's in length from the US Open. :wacko:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:02 PM
Kirilenko is serving to stay in the match.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:06 PM
Azarenka wins 7-6 (7-3) 6-2.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:07 PM
Jankovic is serving to stay in the match at 3-5.

Seems as though Nadal and Djokovic will be playing at the same time. French Open schedulers. :doh:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:11 PM
Sharapova wins 0-6 6-4 6-3

Poor old Jankovic, won 13 games to 12 and lost. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:46 PM
Nadal up a break already. :rose:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:52 PM
Djokovic breaks and leads 4-3 in the first set.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 02:58 PM
Djokovic takes the first set 6-3.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:09 PM
RIP Fat Stan's racquet. :rose:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:16 PM
Nadal takes the first set 6-2.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:27 PM
Haas can barely win a point on Djokovic's serve.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:34 PM
Seven love service games for Djokovic. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:48 PM
Djokovic takes the second set 7-6 (7-5).

Fat Stan has just broken back in the second set. 3-3.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:51 PM
Nadal breaks again. :doh:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 03:58 PM
Djokovic had a nitro boost in getting to that ball there. :blink:

He breaks to love and leads 2-1 in the third set.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:02 PM
Nadal takes the second set 6-3. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:07 PM
Haas leads 3-2 now. :blink:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:16 PM
Nadal up a break in the third set and so is Djokovic.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:22 PM
Match point for Djokovic.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:23 PM
Backhand in to the net. Deuce.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:24 PM
Haas holds though, Djokovic to serve it out.

Fat Stan is facing the prospect of a bagel. Down 4-0 currently.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:29 PM
Haas breaks back, 5-5. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:32 PM
Nadal wins 6-2 6-3 6-1.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:37 PM
Djokovic breaks and will again serve for the match.

McNamara That Ghost...
05-06-2013, 04:41 PM
Djokovic wins 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 7-5.

So Djokovic vs Nadal on Friday. :popcorn:

Cripps_orig
05-06-2013, 06:14 PM
Shazza is awesome

Djokovic v Nadal should have been the final.

With Federer out, we'll definitely have a pub teamer there instead

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 01:05 PM
Azarenka vs Sharapova is on soon.

Cover your ears.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 01:19 PM
Azarenka breaks to love in the first set. :lol:

1-0.

Shaqiri Is Boss
06-06-2013, 01:21 PM
I made the horrible mistake of watching the first game with the sound on.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 01:25 PM
Sharapova breaks straight back. :doh:

And yes, two banshees screaming isn't great to the ears.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 01:41 PM
Sharapova will serve for the first set at 5-1. :wacko:

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 01:44 PM
6-1.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 02:21 PM
Sharapova is serving to stay in the second set at 2-5.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 02:24 PM
Sharapova gets a duff call on a ball that was long on HawkEye (which of course they don't use here) to give Azarenka to break points. She saves the first but double faults on the second.

Azarenka takes the second set 6-2. On to a decider.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 02:46 PM
Rain has interrupted play, though they should be back on again soon. Supposed to be like this tomorrow too. Could be fun with how long Djokovic - Nadal matches can last.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:26 PM
2-2, after a trade of breaks.

Sharapova's serve is such a liability - four double faults in one game. :haha:

Shaqiri Is Boss
06-06-2013, 03:30 PM
Both players' strategy seems to be "hit it back as hard as you can" without any thought for aim or spin or change in length. Whack *scream*, whack *scream*, whack *scream*....

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:36 PM
Sharapova leads 4-2.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:39 PM
Looks like the ballbashing will be over soon. Two break points for Sharapova.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:39 PM
And break she does. Sharapova to serve for the match.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:47 PM
Sharapova has messed up two match points.

McNamara That Ghost...

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:52 PM
And a double fault to bring up another break point.

10 double faults to er 0. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 03:53 PM
And an 11th double fault gives Azarenka one of the breaks back. :haha:

Sharapova wins 6-1 2-6 6-4.

Serena on for a bagel, shockingly.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2013, 04:56 PM

Errani. :rose:

Azarenka was really poor. It was all on Sharapova's racquet today.

Poor Errani.

If Sharapova beats Serena, it will be the biggest shock since WUMger substituted someone before the 68th minute.

Not a bad start from Djokovic. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:23 AM
Nadal having a tough game on his serve, unsurprisingly.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:23 AM
Would have been a break point for Djokovic, ruled in.

Damn you marks.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:25 AM
Nadal holds, 1-1.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:29 AM
Djokovic moving Nadal all over the court, again.

1-2 he leads.

Djokovic holds from ad/deuce. 2-3.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:50 AM
Nadal just dropped the Ashes.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:51 AM
Although he now has break point.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:51 AM
Nadal's moonball sails way wide. Deuce.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:52 AM
Another break point.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 11:52 AM

Cripps_orig
07-06-2013, 12:09 PM
Watched the first half of the first set

Djokovic looked dominate but in true Djokovic fashion, he fucks it up. Welcome back Novak.

Never been sure about him. A very good player no doubt but his recent rise to number 1 and grand slam wins have come at a time where Nadal is having fitness issues and age is catching up on Federer. Both of them at their best, Djokovic was nowhere near them.

Basically his success is down to others level dropping than him getting better

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 12:16 PM
Nadal didn't have any fitness issues when he lost seven times in a row to Djokovic (three of them in Slam finals). As I've always said, discrediting someone winning Slam is a pointless task, you could do it for any player in history.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 12:27 PM
How did Djokovic recover that? :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 12:30 PM
Nadal breaks and leads 3-2 in the second set. Odd decision to go for a dropshot.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 12:35 PM
Break point for Djokovic!

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 12:36 PM

Adv. Djokovic.

Third break point for Djokovic. Brilliantly constructed.

Very good returning from Djokovic in this game, deuce on Nadal's serve.

Double fault from Nadal! Adv. Djokovic.

Set point for Djokovic.

Nadal does take the third set 6-1.

Not sure what happens now if Nadal time violates again now he has reached the level of losing a point. :unsure:

FFS Nole, give it up for once.

Djokovic holds to love, Nadal serving to stay in the fourth set. :blink:

McNamara That Ghost...
07-06-2013, 02:09 PM
Fair to say Djokovic at the net is a bit of a mixed bag.

Djokovics best ever chance for a French open and he bottled it.
